I know there are lots out there who don't like hearing the comment 'I told you so' but I told you so and have been telling you since Christmas. We have never had a big enough squad and no real goal scoring forwards. Having to bring on Dallas early in the game is a joke. Not enough fire power and creativity up front. Bielsa is not God. Continuing to play Harrison is a mistake. Playing Roofe anywhere other than up front is a mistake - Leaving Bamford up front with Roofe in the No. 10 slot is a mistake. Bielsa has done it twice in two games. Hasn't he seen Roofe all season . He is poor generally if he hasn't got that forward slot. Having KP on the bench again could have helped to cost us the game. Wigan (poor substitution) was another mistake. What's happened to Jack Clarke? He was worse than awful. Bielsa hasn't learnt from his mistakes. They do say he is stubborn though. Tonight's performance was abysmal. On this performance, and several before it, including Sheffield Wednesday where we nearly blew it, no promotion this year. Villa should beat us as could anyone in the top 6 excepting perhaps Bristol. Forwards not good enough and squad with not enough quality in depth equals no promotion this year. At the moment we are awful and easy to beat. There - I told you so. It's been a much better season than in the recent past but anyone who knows anything about football could have seen this falling away coming from a long way back. Wigan was very bad - this was worse.

We all know plenty about football.
Lacking quality, for sure .
On our day we've been the best team in the league.
We can do the same in the 3 big games.
Still in it.

Metisse, it’s a bantar site, that means you need to have different opinions or it doesn’t work . Not very interesting if we all just come on and agree.

Feath

If you don't feel sh*t when they lose, no matter how long you've been watching them, then you aren't a true supporter.

Unless of course you are Messti or Hess. 🤣🤣.

LUFC if we got beat in champions league final we would still feel sh#t. that's what football does to you mate. Hess i think most of us knew our squad was not big enough and Jan was a wasted window. Not sure Bub is stubborn but has not had much to play with and did not want to mix things up at this stage, maybe he will try a different approach in play offs as we do not know how to shut a game down. He says himself that our scoring is poor and for me Roofe should have been back up front, but he did score a lot of goals for his old club coming in off the left side. However our defense is not great either if you look at possession stats most teams have had the ball for about 25 minutes and scored two goals, that's bad. Lot of ifs buts and maybes but at start of season i would have took a play off place but actually gutted how we have caved in which does not fill me with confidence for the play offs but who knows. Think a lot of this squad have played above themselves this season but the core is there. Will be at the Villa game hoping SU go t#ts up but with one eye on play offs and seeing how we perform against our main threat.
